1949 Map of Grassy Cove

USGS Topo · Published 1949

About this map

The remarkable karst landscape of Grassy Cove dominates this Tennessee Valley Authority study, showing a large enclosed valley where drainage disappears into limestone sinks. The map details a rural mountain economy at the end of the 1940s, centered on small settlements like Linary and Jewett and the winding Alvin C York Highway. The terrain is defined by the massive flanks of Brady Mountain and Walden Ridge, which hem in the cultivated valley floors. Genealogists can locate several family burial grounds, including Reed Cem and Hinch Cem, alongside community landmarks like Alloway Ch and Alloway Sch. This era captures the area before modern development, preserving the locations of numerous mountain gaps and hollows, such as Stillhouse Hollow and Low Gap, and the specific placements of Mill Cave and Saltpeter Cave that hint at the region's unique geology.
